right.. i think its not the space issue.. .but rather the IO error... could be the disk.. but i am not sure..

cos when its the space issue i will get the below

If you ran out of disk space you would have seen the message "O/S-Error: (OS 112) There is not enough free space on the disk" in your [sid]ARCH.TRC file as I recently had this happen. Your whole database would have stopped as well until free space was allocated.
